چکیده

Flagella of cytoplasm-free envelopes of Escherichia coli or Salmonella typhimurium can rotate in either the counterclockwise or clockwise direction, but they never switch from one direction of rotation to another. Exogenous fumarate, in the intracellular presence of the chemotaxis protein CheY, restored switching ability to envelopes, with a concomitant increase in clockwise rotation. An increase in clockwise rotation was also observed after fumarate was added to partially lysed cells of E. coli, but the proportion of switching cells remained unchanged.

Cell envelopes of chemotaxis mutants of Escherichia coli rotate their flagella counterclockwise.

Flagella rotated exclusively counterclockwise in Escherichia coli cell envelopes prepared from wild-type cells, whose flagella rotated both clockwise and counterclockwise, from mutants rotating their flagella counterclockwise only, and even from mutants rotating their flagella primarily clockwise. Some factor needed for clockwise flagellar rotation appeared to be missing or defective in the cel...

Effects of Thyme Essential Oil and Disodium Fumarate on Ruminal Fermentation Characteristics, Microbial Population and Nutrient Flow in a Dual Flow Continuous Culture System

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of di-sodium fumarate (DSF) and thyme essential oil (TEO) solely and simultaneously on ruminal fermentation properties and microbial abundance. A dual-flow continuous culture system (DFCC) with eight 1400-mL fermenters was used in a period of 12 d that divided to 9 d for adaptation and 3 d for sampling. Fermenters were fed 100 g d...

Two novel methods for synthesizing poly (propylene fumarate): Technical aspects and role of vacuum and N2 purging effects

Poly (propylene fumarate) (PPF), a linear unsaturated polyester consisting of alternating propylene glycol and fumaric acid units, can be cured in vivo to fill the skeletal defects with minimal surgical intervention. Many different methods have been reported for synthesizing PPF, but none of them gives a clear method. The present paper introduces two new methods in PPF synthesis: Modified reflu...
